I was climbing at the Dry Wall today (12/8/14). This trap was discovered at the base of the cliff, in the overhang on the left hand side. Roughly between the start of J.J. Memorial and The Pit. My friendís dog got her leg caught in the trap. It was elaborately set up with a feathery bate set up on a fishing line above the trap that was buried under some loose soil. The trap was attached to a deeply dug chain anchor. The dog was injured and a lot of pain, but seems like sheíll... more >>

Comments: As with any posts on this site, please take mine with a grain of salt. Iím fairly comfortable with swell style climbing, runouts, and really comfortable on 5.10. With that in mind, I thought this climb was great, and totally worth doing all 4 pitches. Sorry if Iím giving away too much here, but Iím just trying to promote doing the whole climb.

Pitch 1 Super fun. If you want to be very comfortable, bring three #1ís, and you could even use a #4 for the top. ( gear beta is in BD )

Comments: I usually fall more on the approaches than the rock. Whether itís some loose talus or greasing out of my flip flops on some slabby 4th class, usually resulting in spilling my approach beer. Man, climbing outside is tough. Better just stick to Momentum from now on.

Comments: An amazing finish to one of my favorite desert climbs. Varied, challenging, and fun. One of the best out there. I noticed that there is no recorded FA on this page, has this not gone free yet? If not, I just happened to climb it free in one go from the ground to the 2nd anchors clean on 5/18/14. I'd be surprised, but honored to be the first to do so.

Comments: Climbed this route in May 2011. I lived in NH for many years, and thought it was fitting to climb this. A good desert adventure. I lead the OW pitch with ease by pulling on a #6 in spots. My partner tried to free it on TR, and being not the best OW / chimney climber nearly puked from exhaustion. Amazing summit view.

Comments: Ive only gotten on a handful of the routes in the area. Most of which were fun and memorable. I think I stick to my opinion, which is just that, about the rating. On pitch 2, I got 1 good cam right off the belay, then 1 bad cam in the crack 15ftish below the first bolt. The climbing in between the cams isnt too hard, but far and the rock is questionable in sections. A blown hold would result in extreme unpleasantness. In general climbing terms, I think this would support a pg13. I think a 9- vs... more >>

Comments: To avoid the OW start, do the Utahpia start ( which is great climbing ) and traverse left at the ledge after the first 3 bolts. This variation is definitely one of the best routes on the wall.

Comments: I'm gonna go against the grain here and say "meh." It looks like a lot more fun than it is. Overall mediocre at best, especially compared to its neighbors Rollercoaster and Colossus, which are way better.
